Students are being ''man­ipulated"
by the GRCC Parking
and Security Department,
charged ASGRCC President Teri
Reed recently. She added that the
enforcement of parking reg­ulations
is "discriminatory."
Reed and Buzz Williamson,
student administrative assistant
and vice chairman of the parking
board, claim that students are
"getting the shaft" on at least two
fronts.
Student vehicles are ticketed if
parking security employees find
them in designated staff spaces.
But the reverse is not true, says
Reed.
Williamson noted that he has
observed specific staff vehicles
habitually parked in student slots
while staff spaces were still un­occupied.
Reed and Williamson's concern
over this apparent discrepancy
prompted them to put pressure on
Nick Smith, staff director of park­ing
and security, and other
administrators to enforce fair
parking regulations.
Following are portions of a
resolution drawn up by the three
student members of the eight-man
parking board:
"To Parking and Security ... Re:
1 j q !·,•
Parking Space ... Be it directed
that the parking department
enforce the following directive:
That all vehicles displaying park­ing
permits will be required to
park in the specific area
designated on their parking
permit ... "
"Vehicles displaying student
permits will not be allowed to park
in staff lots and vice-versa. Abuse
of this policy will result in the
ticketing of the specific vehicles
involved."
Smith, when confronted with
Reed's charges, said, "If anybody
is getting a good shake around
here, it's the students. I don't
'manipulate' anybody. 1 can't
manipulate-I'm involved in a
system that's been set up. Check
with my boss, Dean of Students
Earl Norman."
Norman had this to say: "Nick
works for me and the parking
board advises me. The parking
board is a good communications
tool to give me input, but as far as a
day-to-day thing, we've never
worked it that way. The final
decisions are in the hands of the
Board of Trustees."
Reed and Williamson also claim
that because of student rep­resentatives'
unwillingness to put

up with unfair parking practices,
some administrators are trying to
wrest control from the parking
board and place it virtually in the
hands of administration.
Responding to this charge,
Business Manager Rich
Rutkowski said, "That's not an
illegal practice (authority in the
hands of administratioll). That's
the way it was set up." He added
that it was a "fully discussed, con­scious
decision" on the part of the
parking board to give preferenti­al
parking to the staff and they pay
extra parking fees for it-$5 to the
student's $4.
"You can't delegate 100 per cent
authority to students-they're not
employers. It's my understanding
that the parking board is a rep­resenting
or advisory body, not a
decision-making body," he con­tinued
.. This assertion was verified
by both Norman and Smith.
Last year the parking lots were
paid off, Reed said, but the park­ing
fees are still the same. Where
is the extra money going? "That
money is student money, so a
reserve fund was built up with it.
But the parking board is not being
consulted on how it's spent," she
emphasized.
According to Reed, Parking and
Security Director Smith has been
using the funds "at his own discre­tion.
He bulldozed Lea Hills with·
out consulting anybody (on the
parking board)," she said.
Smith's answer to that charge
was, "In the first place, the park­ing
board didn't meet all summer
long. And you can see how many
cars use that lot." He said the deci­sion
to bulldoze Lea Hills was
approved by his superiors and the
business office.
Reed and Williamson hope to
.Green River students' attention to
these alleged examples of
administrative high-handedness
so that they will have support in
their upcoming face-off with the
powers that be.
NOTE: Director of Parking and
Security Smith wants everybody
on campus to be aware of the
changes taking place at the
entrance to Parking Lot C. By the
end of this week, the new entrance
will be made into a one-way
entrance only, he said.
All exiting from the lower half of
the campus will have to be done by
the easternmost service road as
soon as this goes into effect. Smith
said this measure was "a safety
consideration" because of the
numberofcrossroadsinthatarea.
